Yes, I gagged myself from dropping a couple of smart-ass comments about
this.

I'm getting 135 gotos for 18,500 lines of code on FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE, but
112 for 6000 on linux-2.3.15. So, per line of code, that's 2.58 times more
gotos in the linux code than in freebsd, so nyah! :-)
Whoa, what a meaningless statistic. God, I'm good.

This is true. There are n^n niggly different situations to handle,
particularly with the oddities produced by nfs, and gotos can make things
significantly easier. But there are places where they look overused (i.e.
nfs_read_super(), for example).
